"Did He Really Behave Himself At This Year's Office Christmas Party? 6 Tips To Spot If Your Man Is A Saint Or A Sinner"

Author and persuasion coach, Tony Walker has been striking fear into hearts of liars and cheats this Christmas with release of his "Human Lie Detector" book entitled, Liar Liar Pants On Fire!

We are said to be lied to, on average, every ten minutes.

For most of us we even lie to our children. How many of us pretend Santa Claus is real in order to convince our kids to behave themselves all year?

Sadly, one of biggest reasons those close to us may lie is to conceal infidelity. And with alcohol-fueled, mistletoe entangled festive season now rampant, there are many more opportunities for man in your life to stray from path of fidelity than at any other time of year.

Often, lies that follow one drunken moment of stupidity can be more damaging to a relationship than act itself.

Just as damaging though is constantly accusing someone of something they didn't do.

As well as all good stuff though, it's well known that Christmas is also a time that sees more breakups, fights and arguments than any other.

So, if you don't want to be left wondering this year, here are 6 quick tips for calming your worries or confirming your suspicion.

1. AVOID CONFRONTATION If you suspect you are being lied to then should you confront liar immediately? I would generally suggest not. Often best approach is to note fact in your mind and continue with conversation, with a view to extracting more information.

This will tend to confirm or deny your suspicions without causing an awkward scene if your hunch proves false. Once you confront someone who has lied to you (or not) tone of conversation can change and gathering additional facts becomes almost impossible.

2. LOOK THEM IN THE EYES A person who is lying to you may do everything possible to avoid making eye contact. Others may make exaggerated and over prolonged eye contact in an effort to convince you of their sincerity.

3. LITTLE MOVEMENTS Hands may go up to face or throat, especially to mouth. But contact with body is limited to these areas. The liar may also be unlikely to touch chest with an open hand gesture. The liar may also touch nose or scratch behind ear. If he is trying to appear casual and relaxed about his answer, he may shrug a little as he talks.

Countdown 2 Armegeddon

'Tis season to be jolly! Why? Simple. King George II, owing his re-election in large part to American Christian Right Wing, will certainly not defoul regions surrounding holy land by launching any more full-scale attacks, in this, a time of celebration for birth of baby Jesus. While "peace to all, and goodwill towards man" is a little too much to ask for right now, we can expect that no major military offensives will be planned until at least January 30th. That is day when people of Iraq will have privilege of choosing which of their leaders will have honor of bending over for american business interests before falling over after having been assasinated. Make no mistake about it. No good will come of Iraq's first election. The Iraqi's have long since stopped seeing Americans as liberators. Too many stories of shootings on sacred ground, refusal of medical care for wounded, and of course, unlawful confinement (ex: Guantanamo Bay). The Americans have long outstayed their welcome on Iraqi soil. Reading between lines in Bush's latest address (CNN Article), he is clearly setting up his military strategy for 2005. Warning Syria and Iran to stay out of Iraq, would be like telling a child not to look for their presents, but showing them where you hid it. Both countries are now openly supporting various revolutionary parties in Iraq, so a collision course is inevitable. I can only imagine Iranians, who had to live with a decade of war with Iraq who were sponsored at time by Americans. They finally have a chance to strike back at their real enemy! This, my friends, is only one example of American foreign policy that will eventually lead to demise of American Empire. Sooner or later, all cultures fade away, and Americans will be undone by their blatant disregard for others. Live by sword, die by sword. Americans have used other countries as weapons for decades, yet are shocked when their planes are hijacked. I am in no way condoning any terrorist actions, only pointing out that Americans are no better than people they claim to be liberating today.
